Beta Chapter 40: Already Registered

Chapter 40: Already Registered

“Mr. Duan, is it convenient for you to come in now?”

In the office of the President of Neptune Technology Group, Duan Yizhou was studying the recipe for tonight’s dinner for the little ancestor. Then he heard his assistant Jiang Yi knocking on the door, and he responded with a “yes” upon hearing the sound.

“Please come in.”

Jiang Yi pushed open the door, holding a stack of documents in his hand. “Mr. Duan, I found it.”

Duan Yizhou raised his eyes, and there was a slight darkness beneath the golden-rimmed glasses. “Found what?”

“Yes, here is all the information about the person who registered the pheromone code with Young Master Luo,” Jiang said, placing the documents in front of Duan Yizhou.

Duan Yizhou picked up the documents in front of him. The first thing that caught his eye was the registration information for the pheromone code. The two rows of parallel pheromone code data were glaring.

Pheromone Code Registration:

Luo Songran – Type A Beta – Pheromone Code BAA120301041121 – Citrus Rose

He Yu – Alpha – Pheromone Code AAO111505061207 – Azure Orchid Lime

Registration Status: [Pheromone code not registered in parallel, can be canceled by the individual]

He remained impassive, concealing the emotions beneath his eyes, as he flipped through the information about this person named He Yu. After reviewing all the information, he came to a conclusion: Hmm, just an ordinary alpha, dare to make a move on Luo Songran?

“Mr. Duan, this He Yu is a doctoral student at Yan University. It is said that he participated in the clinical trial phase of the secondary differentiation drug this time, and he has known Young Master Yu since childhood,” Jiang Yi said.

Duan Yizhou smiled tepidly. “How can an educated alpha do something that goes against the other party’s wishes? You should know that this is equivalent to molestation in legal terms.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi became curious. “So, did Young Master Luo use this sexual stimulant… on you?”

Duan Yizhou raised his eyes subtly. “Isn’t that obvious?” 

Although he hadn’t told anyone that Luo Songran was already pregnant, it indeed seemed difficult for Jiang Yi to discern who had been targeted with such behavior. But he knew that Luo Songran was carrying his child. It could only be him.

Jiang Yi awkwardly chuckled. “I didn’t mean anything else, just dared to ask. Just concerned about you. So, does Young Master Luo not know that his pheromone code has been registered?”

“Hard to say.” Duan Yizhou thought of the temper of this little ancestor. Even if he knew, he might not dare to tell him. “He probably didn’t think about the consequences.”

Otherwise, he would have told him by now. It was most likely forgotten.

Jiang Yi suddenly felt angry towards this He Yu. “So, it’s very likely that Young Master Luo himself doesn’t know the consequences of the registration. After all, he’s a beta and may not be as sensitive as omegas or alphas. But this He Yu is an alpha. It’s stipulated that the use of sexual stimulants must be registered with the consent of both parties. Isn’t this abuse of power? How dare he?”

After a while, Duan Yizhou basically figured out the temper of Luo Songran, the little ancestor. He used to love playing around, that was true, but he was also insincere. Especially when it came to his own pheromones, he didn’t care at all. This had some impact on many alphas or omegas.

It was possible that those people, when emitting trace amounts of pheromones near Luo Songran and being accepted, thought it was permissible.

So, he couldn’t blame those people. Instead, he should let Luo Songran know the seriousness of this matter, learn to be vigilant, and learn how to protect himself. After all, things were different now. Many would be affected after becoming pregnant.

“I’ll take him to cancel the registration myself.” Duan Yizhou thought of a way to teach this disobedient little ancestor a lesson. Whether he knew his pheromone code had been registered or not, the lesson was that he couldn’t trust others outside.

“Mr. Duan, are you going to confront Young Master Luo directly?”

Duan Yizhou adjusted his glasses, threw the information that had already been memorized into the trash can beside him, and smiled. “Arrange a premarital checkup for me.”

The premarital checkup included the registration of pheromone codes. Suddenly, he looked forward to the expression of the little ancestor.

“What about this He Yu…” Jiang Yi thought of what his boyfriend had casually mentioned, “I’ve heard my boyfriend mention this He Yu. He said he’s particularly utilitarian and always feels that he has ill intentions towards Young Master Luo. Aren’t you going to deal with him?”

“Your boyfriend?” Duan Yizhou raised an eyebrow when he heard Jiang Yi say this. “Since when have you been in a relationship?”

“Um… it’s been a while.” Jiang Yi felt a little embarrassed to talk about this. “Keep it low-key, I don’t want to go public yet.”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid my boyfriend might startle you,” Jiang Yi said.

Duan Yizhou became a bit curious at this remark. “Even I can’t know?”

“It’s not that you can’t know, it’s just I’m afraid of startling you,” Jiang Yi replied, casting his eyes down, displaying a hint of shyness.

Duan Yizhou found Jiang YI’s demeanor somewhat amusing. “You won’t startle me. It’s a good thing that you’re in a relationship, and I’m happy for you.”

“My boyfriend is Chu Beiheng.”

Duan Yizhou’s smile stiffened for a second, as if he misheard. He furrowed his brows slightly, pondered for half a second, and hesitated before saying, “…What?” as if he thought he misheard.

“My boyfriend is Chu Beiheng, Young Master Luo’s elder cousin,” Jiang Yi repeated, then lowered his voice and said to Duan Yizhou in a secretive manner, “Mr. Duan, please don’t tell anyone else, it has to be kept low-key.”

Duan Yizhou’s smile became somewhat forced. He looked at Jiang Yi, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. Finally, he resigned himself and said, “Okay.”

Was he happy for Jiang Yi? He should have never asked.

Don’t ask, asking his assistant was now like asking his brother-in-law. Who was Chu Beiheng? He was the eldest young master of the Luo family, Luo Songran’s eldest cousin. If it’s true, then Jiang Yi now…was his brother-in-law.

“Mr. Duan, should we keep an eye on him?” Jiang Yi asked.

Duan Yizhou quickly adjusted his emotions. He stood up, lowered his gaze to tidy his cuffs, and replied indifferently, “Yes, keep an eye on him, so he won’t be eyeing my baby all the time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Jiang Yi chuckling softly. He looked at Jiang Yi with suspicion.

Perhaps Jiang Yi noticed Duan Yizhou’s gaze, as he pursed his lips, suppressing the curvature of his lips, and said, “My Chu Beiheng also calls me that.”

Duan Yizhou decisively picked up his car keys and left the office. “I’m going to pick up RanRan.”

It’s not suitable to stay here for long. He needed to calm down before finding his baby.

On the other end, Luo Songran, who had no classes on Friday afternoon, was in the garage wiping his sports car with a towel. He was meticulous, even wiping the rearview mirror until it gleamed, as if he could drive it out in the next second. But he couldn’t. Ever since Dr. Su advised him not to drive, especially powerful cars like sports cars that had a strong engine sound and thrusting sensation, his car keys had been confiscated. This included his club car.

He didn’t know how Duan Yizhou managed it, but he found out his membership information in the club. Fortunately, when he mentioned that he had already quit the club, Duan Yizhou’s expression softened a bit. However, without turning back, all the cars from his club were taken away. He tried to resist, but in the end, he silently endured it. Mainly because he was afraid that Duan Yizhou would tell his Dad and Papa about his pregnancy. He chose to endure for now, in hopes of smoothing things over. After all, there was no room for maneuver. He silently promised to himself to make it up to Duan Yizhou later.

So, the car he was currently touching was the only one he could drive to Duan Yizhou’s house, a Porsche. Honestly, he didn’t dare to go home and drive again. His Dad would surely ask where the car he drove out went. He couldn’t just let it be confiscated. That would be too embarrassing!

Ugh. Luo Songran sighed as he touched the moonlight white car in front of him, looking reluctant. Finally, he leaned on the car hood and hugged it tightly, saying, “Baby, forgive Brother for not being able to drive you temporarily. I’ll take you for a spin after I finish unloading.”

Just as he had just leaned down for two seconds, someone grabbed the collar from behind him. Before he could react, his shoulders were half embraced, and he was lifted up in a smooth motion. The whole process was as fluid as flowing water.

When he turned around and faced the deep gaze of Duan Yizhou, he was still in a daze. Then he subconsciously swallowed and asked, “Why are you back?”

Why was he suddenly staring at him with that expression? It was quite scary!

“Don’t lean on it.” Duan Yizhou supported his shoulder to make him stand up straight. “You need to be careful when you’re pregnant. How can you lean on it like that? If you press against the baby, you’ll feel uncomfortable.”

As soon as he parked the car outside, he saw Luo Songran lying on the car hood in the garage. He thought this guy wanted to drive out, but when he approached, he saw him holding a towel, wiping the car.

When Luo Songran heard Duan Yizhou’s words, he sneered, shrugged off his hand on his shoulder, and then threw the towel in his hand at him. “You’re just concerned about the baby.”

“I’m concerned about you. I’m afraid you’ll feel uncomfortable if you press against it,” Duan Yizhou said, reaching out to rub his head when he saw him looking a little unhappy. “Let’s go for a check-up first, and then I’ll take you to make a cake.”

When Luo Songran heard about the check-up, he looked puzzled. “What check-up?”

“A premarital check-up.”

Luo Songran didn’t understand. “Why do we need a premarital check-up?”

“Because I have to be responsible for you. We’re now in a husband relationship, and you have the right to know about my physical condition.”

Luo Songran’s eyes suddenly lit up. “So, if you’re sick, can I divorce you?”

Duan Yizhou was speechless. How could he be sick? Well, whatever. He’ll have to eat his words later. So, with a smile, he nodded, “Yes, if I’m sick, you can divorce me.”

Hearing this, Luo Songran felt slightly better. But as soon as he got into the car, he began to ponder. What if he really divorced Duan Yizhou because he might be sick? What would happen then? The child would lose his Dad. That would be a single-parent family. And the education of the child would be a big problem in a single-parent family.

The child would surely ask from a young age: “Where’s Dad? Why does everyone else have a Dad but I don’t? Dad, why do other kids have both a Dad and a Mom to pick them up, but I only have you to pick me up, Dad, Dad, I want to have a Dad too, Dad…”

Ah! So annoying! Luo Songran lay back against the comfortable headrest, arms crossed, looking serious and annoyed. He took a deep breath, pondering, immersed in the dilemma of whether to divorce Duan Yizhou because he might be sick.

What if, just what if? What if he was the only one raising the child? 

He didn’t notice that the person in the driver’s seat saw through his expression, unable to resist the slight sinking of his lips. So adorable. “RanRan.”

“Huh?”

“Does your eldest cousin have a girlfriend?” Duan Yizhou, driving the car, remembered what Jiang Yi had mentioned earlier and couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Songran, with a puzzled look, glanced sideways at Duan Yizhou. “My eldest cousin? No, he doesn’t. And he’s studying abroad, so he shouldn’t have time.”

Duan Yizhou fell silent for a moment. So, this Chu Beiheng that Jiang Yi mentioned…

“What about your other cousin?” It couldn’t be that Jiang Yi lied to him, right? There was no need for that.

Speaking of this, Luo Songran smiled. “My other cousin? Who would dare to like him? He’s so stubborn and rigid. How could anyone like him?”

Duan Yizhou pondered, noncommittally, “I see.”

Could his assistant have been deceived?

Luo Songran stared at Duan Yizhou strangely. “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Duan Yizhou smiled, “It’s not a bad thing to know more about your family. After all, I’ll meet them in the future.”

Luo Songran felt a bit strange. Why was he suddenly asking about his cousins? Could it be related to the company?

At the hospital —

Because he was pregnant, there were many projects he couldn’t do, and there were several that he had already done and didn’t need to do again. So, he finished much faster than Duan Yizhou. After finishing, he waited boredly in the lobby.

While waiting, he happened to see a video call from his eldest cousin. He put on his wireless earphones and answered the call. He then saw his brother skiing, and the familiar ski resort behind him made him show an envious and jealous expression.

“Cousin, why are you skiing? Didn’t we agree you’d be studying?” Luo Songran walked to a less crowded area, as it was a public place, he didn’t dare to speak loudly, and spoke through gritted teeth in a low voice.

“RanRan, I came to the skiing resort with friends today, the one you recommended. It’s really nice. When are you coming to see your brother? Summer vacation? Come play together.” Chu Beiheng on the video call took off his ski goggles, his handsome face smiling brightly. He adjusted the strands of hair that fell onto his forehead.

Luo Songran heard his cousin inviting him to come over, and he wanted to go, but the problem was, could he run now?

“Still not, I have to practice the piano honestly this summer.”

His cousin, Chu Beiheng, looked at his little cousin in the video call with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Uncle told me you’re in a relationship? Who is it? Someone who can capture my little cousin’s heart must not be simple. Alpha or omega?”

When Luo Songran saw his cousin gossiping, he didn’t know what to say for a while. He hesitated, “…Alpha.”

“RanRan.”

Just then, Luo Songran heard a familiar voice behind him. He immediately covered his phone, and then whispered into the earpiece, “Cousin, I have something to do now. I’ll call you back later.”

At the other end of the video call, Chu Beiheng first heard a mature and steady voice, followed by a sudden change in the angle of the video, as the camera was covered by his little cousin. In that instant, he caught sight of the words on the signboard because it was related to his profession and he was very familiar with it.

—Pheromone Encoding Inspection Department

Why would his little cousin be in the Pheromone Encoding Inspection Department?!!! Was he going to register with someone? Was it possible to register so quickly?!!! What, what, what, his cabbage that hadn’t been properly raised yet was going to be taken away?!!!

As soon as Luo Songran turned around, he saw Duan Yizhou walking towards him. He put his phone back in his pocket. “Have we finished the check-ups? Can we go now?”

“We’re still missing one last item.” Duan Yizhou saw him hiding here just now, not knowing who he was chatting with, so he took off his earphones to make sure he could hear clearly. “Pheromone encoding status check.”

Luo Songran’s expression froze instantly. Then he looked up suddenly, his eyes widening in panic. “…Why do we need to check that?!”

Pheromone encoding status check. Wouldn’t that reveal that he was already registered?!!! …This is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad!!! How could he forget about this?
